Photo and video evidence makes it difficult for violators to contest traffic challans

Hindustan Times  

The next time you plan to slip out of a traffic ticket citing reasons such as not being present at the location or the traffic signal not functioning, the Delhi Traffic Police will contest your claim with photographs and video evidence of the offence. Data shows that since the police began this practice, the number of violators contesting the fines against them has gone down by at least 10-15%, senior traffic officials said. “For traffic offences such as illegal parking, speeding and in many cases red light jumping, challans are issued by post. We have been uploading the offences on our official website attaching evidence the offences so that violators cannot contest the challans,” said a senior traffic official. The official said, since the department began attaching pictures and videos of offences along with the fines, many violators are now refraining for unwanted arguments while paying challans.
